We visit Bay View regularly as it is only half an hour from us and ideal for a weekend break. The site came under new ownership this year and we think they are doing a grand job. It is not a large site, nor is it 'commercialised'.
The site is right beside the beach, and only half a mile from the Eastbourne marina and Asda ect. The on-site shop has the usual basics and we always have found the wardens to be very accomodating and helpful.
We're about 7 hours away, but we're going to surprise my brother who works/lives on the Martello site next door, so it will be worth the drive. Anyway, I've just booked it, so I'll let you know how we get on
